There's a lot to unpack from Cleveland's 95–93 overtime victory that evened up the NBA Finals at one game apiece. Plus, lovely lady of the day Shay Mitchell gets us ready for Game 3 of the Stanley Cup final.

Happy Monday, everybody—I'll be pinch-hitting on Hot Clicks this week with Andy out of town. If you fancy, you can follow me on Twitter right here, but the sports world had itself quite the weekend, so let's get down to business.

Klay Thompson played a team-high 46 minutes and sank 14 of his 28 shots.

''It's the grit squad right now,'' LeBron James said of the undermanned Cavaliers. ''If you expect us to play sexy cute basketball, that's not us right now. Everything is tough and it has to be that for rest of series.''

LeBron James took longer than usual to compose himself after getting hit across the nose by Draymond Green on a hard foul in the fourth quarter.

American Pharoah led all the way to win the Belmont Stakes by 5 1/2 lengths on Saturday, becoming the first horse since 1978 to sweep the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes--one of the sporting world's rarest feats. Here are SI's best photos from the event. (Text credit: AP)

Jockey Victory Espinoza hustled American Pharoah to the lead leaving the No. 5 post and quickly got him over to the rail. He was never seriously challenged after that. (Text credit: AP)

American Pharoah finally made a Triple Crown winner out of trainer Bob Baffert, who won on his record fourth Triple try, having lost in 1997, 1998 (by a nose) and in 2002. (Text credit: AP)

Jockey Victor Espinoza ended his own frustrating history in the Triple Crown. He got it done with his record third shot after failing to win in 2002 and in 2014 on California Chrome. (Text credit: AP)

Since 1978, the rigors of the Triple Crown had done in 13 other horses who won the Derby and the Preakness--with 12 losing the third leg and I'll Have Another scratched with a leg injury in 2012. American Pharoah brought an end to that drought. (Text credit: AP)

Unlike Affirmed, who dueled Alydar in all three races, American Pharoah didn't have a specific rival since he was the only horse to run in all three Triple Crown races. Going into the Belmont, American Pharoah had beaten all of his seven challengers before. (Text credit: AP)

After making his way back to the crowd, Espinoza took American Pharoah nearly the length of the sprawling grandstand so fans could pay their respects to the champion. (Text credit: AP)

''That's a hell of a horse,'' said Gary Stevens, who finished seventh aboard Tale of Verve. ''The race was over in the third jump from the gate.'' (Text credit: AP)

As the horses were heading to the starting gate, owner Ahmed Zayat was overflowing with confidence and turned to his wife. ''I told her, `Get ready to be the owner of the 12th Triple Crown winner,''' he said. (Text credit: AP)

Let's Skip From Monday To Saturday

On this day in 1963, this gem from Sam Cooke (not to be confused with underrated Ravens punter Sam Koch) topped the Billboard R&B charts, and that's reason enough to give it another spin. See you all tomorrow. Hope I didn't break anything.
